I don't know if it's a known bug or not. But I found that if I use

OSX 10.6.5. Am I missing anything?Is GridFlow loaded ? It forces Pd to use UTF-8 (Unicode) on OSX, so
that it produces patches that are loadable on Linux, and so that I
can write accents at all in Linux. Then it also has that side
effect, that the cursor is off, because I couldn't make a complete
fix of Pd from within an external.The complete fix of character encodings was published at the
beginning of the year, but Miller and Hans don't want to apply it on
Pd 42.I'm betting that there won't be a 'pd-extended stable release' with
proper UTF-8 handling until late 2011. That's why I made this hack
last year.
UTF-8 is slated to become an official part of 0.43 vanilla.
Its unfortunately that you have merged DesireData and gridflow into
one project. I think it will cause lots of problems having gridflow
modify Pd itself. If there is one thing we have learned in the
history of Pd, its that big libraries that are collections of
everything are problematic.
